Blurb:
She was living with a dark secret. No one around her was safe.
Shivers tear through her, but she must be brave—for herself, for her future. She grips her coat tighter and steps into the night and the cold, pouring rain. Never to be seen again.
An ordinary Monday morning commute turns deadly when a gunman opens fire in the local train station. Detective Madison Knight rushes to the scene, but she’s too late for the victims. Two women were fatally wounded, including an expectant mother, and one is fighting for her life. But it’s the face of one of the dead that has Madison seeing a ghost from her past. She looks just like Madison’s college friend Courtney Middleton, who vanished over fifteen years ago. If it is her, where has she been all these years, and does her resurfacing have anything to do with the shooting?
Eyewitnesses say that a young woman triggered the incident, but both the shooter and the girl seem to have evaporated into thin air. Mounting evidence suggests they may be part of a drug-trafficking operation, the girl being one of their runners. But Madison’s not so sure the girl is the hardened criminal she appears to be.
As Madison races to track down the young woman, more people turn up murdered, and there’s still no sign of the girl. Is her body out there to find or is she on the run? If the latter, is it due to fear or guilt? Could it simply be that the shooting victims were caught in the crosshairs of organized crime? Madison’s not sure, but she can’t shake her niggling suspicion: what if it was something more than that?
My Review:
Girl on the Run opens with Detective Madison Knight standing in a long line waiting to order her morning coffee which she needs sooo bad. But just as she is about to step up to the counter gunshots ring out and Madison is off and running down the street toward the gunshots, no coffee this morning.
Two women have been shot, one is dead and the other one is in critical condition. One woman is on the run. Who shot these women and why? Why did one woman run away? Is she scared? Did she have anything to do with the shooting? Are the women connected in some way? If so how? Did someone shoot the women on purpose? Or was it a random shooting? Were the women just in the wrong place at the wrong time kind of thing?
Girl on the Run is the second book in the Detective Madison Knight series that I have read but I definitely have all intentions of reading more. I have read several of Carolyn Arnold’s novels and will definitely read more. I love reading Carolyn’s books because of all the mystery and suspense that keeps you glued to the pages from the first moment that first word is read.
I love the investigations and the murder scenes. I like that you are pulled into each story from the first page. I like that there is so much mystery that you can’t lay it down once you open it. I like trying to figure out whodunit.
I like that you get the murder or the crime in the beginning but not whodunit or why. I love trying to figure out who the killer is. I like all the twists that are thrown at you from all directions. You think you are on the right track to figuring out who the killer is and then bam another twist slams you in the face and you are off again looking for who did it.
I highly recommend Girl on the Run to anyone who likes a good book with lots of suspense and mystery. One-click your copy of Girl on the Run today and enjoy an intense ride full of mystery!
